Defines a plane in 3D along a specified coordinate axis (relative to the view), and then hide the points on one side of that plane, so that a cross-section view of the point cloud results.
At most one slice or section view can be active at a time (for example, a section view in the Y-plane cannot co-exist with a section view in the X-plane). Axis is defined in view coordinates.
Create a section view
-
Select CloudWorx > Clip Point Cloud > Section View.
-
Select the required view from the following:
-
X Positive
-
X Negative
-
Y Positive
-
Y Negative
-
Z Positive
-
Z Negative
-
-
Input the data point to place the section plane.
The new section view is applied to clip the points.
-
To turn on or off any clipping records, see Clipping Manager.
-
To turn off all clipping records of the active clipping group, see Reset Clipping.
-
Use the X Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is X+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
-
Use the X Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is X_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
-
Use the Y Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is Y+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
-
Use the Y Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is Y_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
-
Use the Z Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is Z+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
-
Use the Z Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is Z_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
